Announcing the Artisan Marketplace Incubator

Aconite · Saturday at 11:51 PM

The SWG Restoration Artisan Marketplace Incubator is a new shop space in Mos Eisley intended to help new artisans become more established on the server by acting as an incubator. Selected artisans will receive a free lease for store space for 4 months in a prominent location and other exclusive in-game benefits, including mentorship from experienced Artisans, grants to acquire premium resources, and special advertising.

To be eligible to participate, you must meet the following criteria:

You must not have received an infraction for violating the SWG Restoration Community Standards in the last 12 months from the start date of the Incubator Term; AND
Your earnings from Merchant activities must not have exceeded 25 million credits in the preceding 6 months from the start date of the Incubator Term; AND
Your lifetime earnings from Merchant activities must not exceed 50 Million Credits; AND
Your account’s net worth may not have exceeded 100 Million Credits at any time; AND
You must not have previously participated in the Marketplace Incubator program.

The Incubator provides space for 15 accounts to place vendors in the dedicated mall each term. Any interested account that is not disqualified by the above factors may apply. Each account will be given Qualification Points based on the factors listed below. The accounts with the most Qualification Points will be selected. If too many accounts exceed the maximum number of Qualification Points (i.e., if more than 15 accounts have the maximum number of qualification points possible), the accounts will be selected randomly from all accounts with the maximum number of qualification points.
